Jeeves in the Offing

Jeeves is on holiday in Herne Bay, and while he's away, the world caves in on Bertie Wooster. For a start, Bertie's astonished to read in the Times of his own engagement to the mercurial Bobbie Wickham. Then, at Brinkley Court, his Aunt Dahlia's establishment, he finds his awful former headmaster in attendance, ready to award the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School. And finally the Brinkley butler turns out, for reasons of his own, to be Bertie's nemesis in disguise, the brain surgeon Sir Roderick Glossop. With all occasions informing against him, Bertie has to hightail it to Herne Bay to liberate Jeeves from his shrimping net. And after that, the fun really starts.

Editorial Reviews

Times (London)

A brilliantly funny writer—perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has produced.”

Time

One of Britain’s most talented comic writers.”

Evelyn Waugh

Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale...He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.”

Daily Telegraph (London)

[Wodehouse is] a master, a genius of inventiveness and versatility, brilliant in his use of language, [and] more adroit than almost any novelist since Dickens.”
